I propose that a beginners-pol...@perl.org list be configured, so that Uri can list his initial list policy guidelines (ie rules) be discussed, and a new AUP be created. The policy can be decided overall by those who have belonged to the community the longest, and who answer questions here, and in the more advanced arenas. Personally, I've asked questions here that may not belong, because there is no Perl definition for "beginner question". With that said, I don't like it that Uri has to spend his time spitting out the rules on a frequent basis (especially recently). Also, I am disgusted with name calling, regardless of ANY situation... that is completely unacceptable, especially on this list. fwiw, in the context the name was called, I agree with Rob... I belong to several technical lists, and the de-facto standard is to Reply-All.
